Episode 392 Side Story 2: Heavenly Demon Daejeon,
Shingeombaekga’s Grand Demonstration Armament.
A loud cheer erupted over the yellow earth where the blood and sweat of the prosecutors had melted.
“Deploy black wings!”
At the shout of Hong Nam-gi, who stood in the center of the training ground, the circular formation of the medical sword corps became sharp like the wings of a falcon.
“statement!”
Kim Woo-hyuk and Park Hye-ri were next to Hong Nam-gi, and Hong A-ra, who was in the last line, moved to the front line.
Coo coo coo coo!
As everyone in the medical swords team took their seats, their swords blazed with a sharp energy that seemed capable of cutting through any wall.
“stop.”
As the medical examiner’s team came together as one to maintain the black wing examination, a stern voice came down from the podium.
This is Baek Woo-jin. His piercing eyes scanned the medical sword table.
“The biggest advantage of black wing screening is its sharpness. “To increase its sharpness, you need to match your auras.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his finger and pointed to the entire medical sword table.
“However, you couldn’t even activate the Aurors. “If things continue to move as they are now, it is only a matter of time before the screening system collapses.”
“I’m sorry!”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. “Because it’s not easy.”
I laughed while looking at the medical swordsmen gasping for breath.
‘If you make it easy, it becomes even stranger.’
The Black Wing Examination is a difficult examination that goes beyond the medical school level, and it has only been taught for a month.
Even if you work with colleagues who are in sync, getting the details right is as difficult as building a tower with a pencil.
“Today’s training ends here. “Let’s leave only those who can do personal training and go and rest.”
Baek Woo-jin looked up at the setting sky and clapped his hands.
“thank you!”
“great job.”
I waved my hand at the medical examiner who was bending at the right angle and sat down on the chair next to the podium.
‘As expected, I don’t have it.’
Without a single exception, members of the Medical Swordsman began individual training in various parts of the training hall.
‘I heard that teaching is rewarding.’
Even after becoming the head of the family, the reason why I watched the training of the medical school once a week was because of that appearance.
I couldn’t just leave them alone, with their desire to learn even one more thing, their desire to improve and climb to a higher place, and their will to practice until late at night.
“Aren’t you tired of them? “Even though it’s been over a month, I’m only practicing for that checkup.”
Guest Muyoung, who was watching from behind, yawned long as if he was tired.
“I don’t know about an impatient person like you.”
Moon Ju-young looked down at the back of Moo Young-gaek’s head and clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic.
“The joy of meeting a colleague after training for several weeks or months cannot be compared to any other reward. “Even the jewel you love so much loses its shine in front of it.”
“Oh my! You know that and are very smart. “You must be so smart that you want to eat a lot!”
Muyounggaek snorted and stood up.
“I will leave this ignorant body alone!”
He wiped his nose-picking finger on Moon Ju-young’s clothes, jumped over the wall, and ran away.
“That crazy guy is real! Ugh….”
Moon Joo-young gritted his teeth and tried to chase Mu-yeong-gaek, but stopped when he saw Baek Woo-jin’s gaze.
“It really doesn’t change.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head. Those two seemed to become more childish as they got older.
I turned back to the training ground. While looking around at the sweaty practicing swordsmen, I turned my gaze to Hong Ara in the corner.
‘That guy…’
Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes. Hong A-ra’s swordsmanship was at a level that even Hong Nam-gi, the sword master, could not handle, but that was not all she was capable of.
‘You’re hiding your skills again.’
Even though she had been scolded once before, she was still hiding her helplessness. That’s quite a bit of territory too.
‘No, it can’t be helped.’
Her body possessed a special talent known as a penetrative ability that astonished even darkness.
Tuhyeonjiche, who had awakened thanks to various practical battles and intense training, was no longer able to catch up with his clumsy talent.
“Well, I’ll go first.”
Hong Ara, who had been swinging her sword for about an hour, smiled slightly and was the first to leave the training ground.
“It’s been a long time…”
Baek Woo-jin smiled as he looked at Hong A-ra’s departing back.
“I guess I’ll have to scold you.”
**
At dawn, the cool wind pushed the moon away.
Hong Ara quietly left the dormitory and headed to the training hall.
She craned her neck like a meerkat and looked around. After confirming that there was no one inside or outside the gymnasium, I entered the gymnasium.
“Phew…”
Hong Ara sighed softly and pulled out the sword hanging from her waist. She set up a barrier to prevent sound from escaping and immediately struck down her sword.
Whoa!
Even though it does not contain an aura, the atmosphere is split just by the force of the sword play.
Paang!
The sword is lowered, raised and stabbed. Every time she swung her sword, the sound of expanded air exploding rang out.
Hong A-ra bit her lip slightly in excitement. I drew my sword while enjoying the pleasant sound of the wave.
Ugh!
The sword rings and the Auror responds to the space. I feel like this world is under my control.
He moved his body with the aura flowing like waves over his sword body.
“Whoop!”
I swung the sword until I was out of breath, then lowered my hand. When I looked up at the sky, I saw that the moon had moved by a span.
‘It feels a bit cooler now.’
The difference in growth from other prosecutors was so severe that he could not show his true power in front of them, and even with group training, his body did not relax.
I had to come out and practice at night like this occasionally to relax my body and mood.
‘I wish I were normal too…’
Now, his power was not just one or two moves higher than that of the Medical Swordsman, but was on a different level.
No matter how close and affectionate your brothers are like family, it would be difficult for them to treat you like they do now.
However, it was difficult to teach something. The reason I became stronger was not because of theory, but because of instinct.
“Ugh, that’s all for today…”
“Go already?”
“Hi!”
As I was sheathing my sword to return, I heard a low voice behind me.
“Uh…”
Hong A-ra turned around, creaking like a broken toy.
“Go, matriarch!”
The person behind him was Baek Woo-jin. He waved his hand with a long smile like a crescent moon in the sky.
“Why are you here?”
“Why are you here?”
“Oh, I was training.”
Actually, I did nothing wrong.
This training ground is open so that you can practice at night or early in the morning, and there are no restrictions on the medical sword belt.
However, when he saw Baek Woo-jin after unleashing his hidden force, he cringed, feeling like he had done something wrong.
“It has increased quite a bit.”
“yes?”
“Aurors are about to become tangible. Aurors are trying to condense into the sword body, right?”
“Have you seen Bo?”
“You can tell that much without looking.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled coolly.
“It’s outstanding growth that they’re already trying to reach a level of strength. “He is an outstanding talent even in Shingeombaekga.”
“As expected, you knew.”
“You can’t not know.”
It seemed like everything about myself was reflected in his transparent eyes.
“I think something similar happened once before?”
“It’s different than back then!”
Hong Ara shook her head furiously.
“Back then, I wasn’t much different from Hong Nam-gi, but now I can take down the entire medical sword team by myself!”
It’s not a joke. There was such a big difference between myself and them now.
“Matriarch.”
Hong A-ra knelt on the training ground.
“Please, please, please let me stay at the medical school! Please!”
There are two reasons why military force has not been revealed so far.
The first was because of the fear of not knowing how the people at the medical school would react, and the second was because of the fear that he, who had become stronger, might be sent somewhere else.
The first was scary, but the second was even more scary. Even though I was from the same Shingeombaek family, I couldn’t even imagine leaving medical school.
“So you hid your power? “Because I might be moved somewhere else?”
“I heard that swordsmen who are better than those around them are often moved to other places…”
“You are real!”
Baek Woo-jin burst into laughter. It’s so fun that I even whimper.
“Matriarch?”
“Ara. “It may have been the past, but since I am the head of the family, do you think I would make personnel changes without my will?”
“Ah…”
“If you say you don’t like it, I won’t make you do it, no matter what people around you say. So don’t worry.”
He patted his shoulder and grinned.
“Well, now that the problem has been resolved, starting tomorrow, you can improve your skills….”
“That’s not possible!”
“Why again?”
“As I said, the difference in skill is too big. “I’m scared of what my brothers will think of me, but I’m more worried that they might despair of their own talents.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin scratched his chin without erasing his smile.
“It seems like it’s a pointless worry to me, but I won’t stop you if you want. “It’s just…”
His hand holding her shoulder tightened.
“Not like now.”
“yes?”
“You are holding back your growth. If you continue to remain half-hearted, one day when the medical school is in crisis, you will face their deaths. And you will regret for the rest of your life that you did not train properly. No, you might not have a chance to regret it.”
My heart seemed to tighten as I heard a cool voice that was completely different from my soft smile.
“Hide your power as you wish. “Do your best to become strong.”
“Ah…”
“The sword blade’s strength, the sword, is a good weapon, but one day, you may end up fighting an opponent strong enough to break the sword. Then you step up. “Become strong so that you can defeat the opponent that the Uigeomdae couldn’t defeat with your force and protect everyone.”
The smile on Baek Woo-jin’s mouth evaporated.
“After that, decide your path. “Will I stay in the medical school or leave the medical school and stand alone?”
“…I know what you mean.”
Hong Ara pursed her lips and nodded.
“I will. I will become stronger than anyone else. “So that I can protect them regardless of whether I leave the medical school or stay behind!”
I calmed my racing heart and clenched my fists.
“Then let me give you some advice to make up for all the wasted years you’ve had.”
“Advice?”
“That’s very good advice.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his finger.
“Entrust your body and mind to your emotions.”
“Eh? yes?”
“Normally, they tell you to stay calm and not get carried away by your emotions, but you are different. “If you simply trust your senses, you will be able to go higher.”
“You’re making fun of me for being simple!”
“Well, that’s also true….”
“Matriarch!”
He chuckled and stepped back. It may seem like he’s teasing, but he must have said something that was really helpful to him.
I didn’t understand it exactly, but I remembered it clearly.
“I’m sure you understand, so I’ll stop… hm?”
Baek Woo-jin, who waved his hand and was about to leave, suddenly frowned. The expression looked more serious than ever.
“Matriarch?”
“no. “I felt strange for a moment.”
He looked to the right and savored his appetite.
“Anyway, don’t forget what I said and train with your mind right from now on. “When I get stuck, I come to you.”
“yes!”
“This is the answer I like the most in a long time.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded with satisfaction and left the training hall.
From the training ground he left, the sound of swords swinging could be heard until dawn.
**
The Tian Shan Mountains rise at the end of the Chinese border.
Five people wearing black robes appeared on that extreme land called Hundred Thousand Great Mountains by the residents.
They endured a strong snow storm and looked at Manlingbong Peak, the highest peak of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Crumbling!
When the snow that had covered people’s feet reached their knees, a roar that seemed to shatter the sky erupted from Mannyeongbong Peak.
“at las!”
The old man standing in the center smiled with joy and knelt on the snow-filled floor.
“You have arrived!”
“Oh oh!”
The remaining four followed the old man and fell flat on the cold ground.
How long has it been? The old man’s whole body trembled from the transcendental energy he felt above his head.
“Get up.”
There was no sound of footsteps or footsteps on the ground, but an electrifying voice as if it were heaven itself was heard right in front of me.
gulp.
The old man swallowed dry saliva and raised his head.
I see a man who looks like an iron tower erected on a pillar at the center of the world. Her gray hair was loose and like the cold north wind, and her black eyes were sunken as deep as an abyss.
I took my breath away just by looking at the terrifying presence that was beyond the human level.
“Is it Zhuge Ming?”
“That’s right.”
The old man named Zhuge Ming bowed his head.
“How much time has passed?”
“25 years.”
He answered with his lips trembling as if he was sick of the cold.
“25 years…”
The man muttered the word 25 years with an expressionless expression and lowered his eyes.
“I promised 30 years. “You were five years early.”
“So, did you achieve it?”
“I don’t know exactly when it was.”
The man turned around and looked at Manryeongbong.
“I fell into a dream so long that I couldn’t distinguish between reality and fantasy. It was Juhwa Ilma who couldn’t overcome his anger. Just when I thought I would never return, the god of war descended on my world. And now!”
The fire burning in the man’s eyes pierced the source of the world.
“I surpassed that warrior.”
“We will reduce your greatness!”
“Oooh!”
“Daesung will be reduced!”
When Zhuge Ming hit his head again, the remaining four let out a scream-like shout and lowered their heads.
“Don’t make me say it twice. Everyone stand up.”
“yes!”
Everyone, including Zhuge Ming, stood up at the same time. Even though they had been kneeling for hours, their posture was not disturbed in the slightest.
“Please report only important matters in the meantime.”
“The balance of the three powers has collapsed. Currently, the strongest is Geomgak and Cheonmu-maeng has become weak. Yeonghu remains the same….”
“Cheonmu-meng has become weaker? “What is Peng Jihu doing?”
“My arm was cut off by a talented person in Korea.”
“Korean talent?”
For the first time, emotion appeared in the man’s eyes. It was a small question and anger.
“This is Baek Woo-jin from Shingeombaekga. And he is the strongest man of our time.”
Zhuge Ming lowered his head and continued speaking.
“But since Lord Moon has come….”
“Cheonma.”
“yes?”
“From now on, call me Cheonma.”
The man who called himself the Heavenly Demon looked up at the cold sky.
“Cheonma…”
Zhuge Ming trembled his chin. The name Cheonma is the name of a myth that comes down from Mt. Cheon and colors the world with darkness. It was a being that would stand above everything in the world.
“Even though 30 years have passed, our anger has not gone away. I will become a devil in the sky and erase this disgusting world.”
His declaration-like voice calmed the white storm.
“Let’s start with the sword detection.”
